Overview

This training is intended for IT personnel within an SME. It covers both theory and practice. We examine the risks organizations face and explain how to address them. Most importantly, we build an infrastructure from scratch and secure it. This includes a Linux server that hosts the web server, as well as a Windows server with Active Directory installed. All company machines are placed within the company’s domain. We also focus on networking: we secure a company router and set up a secure Wi-Fi network. The course is practical in that participants will actually configure and secure Linux, Windows and nginx servers.
